Mouse pointer disappearing over Word/Excel/Outlook in AVD
Hi We are seeing a strange issue on a bunch of session hosts where user over certain apps cannot see the mouse pointer in their full screen AVD sessions. Session hosts are running Windows 10 22H2 up to date (well to February B week release); user client up to date, I am not aware we had user ever report this prior to completely rebuilding a new host pool last autumn for the AppReadiness crashing issues. From what we can tell this only seem to happen with Microsoft Excel, Word and the Outlook compose window, the mouse pointer basically becomes transparent as you can't see it so it makes it hard to select text or cells accurately. Clients are mostly a mix of HP and Lenovo PCs micro PCs running Windows 10 22H2 and Windows 11 23H2 Enterprise on Intel 8th to 12th Gen CPUs and AMD Ryzen Pro CPUs with integrated graphics. Does anyone else see this or any ideas what might be causing it?Windows App will replace Remote Desktop app for Windows
Starting May 27, 2025, the Remote Desktop app for Windows from the Microsoft Store will no longer be supported or available for download and installation. Users must transition to Windows App to ensure continued access to Windows 365, Azure Virtual Desktop, and Microsoft Dev Box. For more information about this transition, please see aka.ms/RemoteDesktopAppBlog.
FSLogix Lock issue - user cannot login - user cannot be manually disconnected from session
Issue just started happening. On latest version of FSLogix (hotfix 4), upgraded from hotfix 1. Issue presented in hotfix 1, MS support suggested to update to latest. We have a 15 minute policy pushed via intune that logs off disconnected sessions after 15 minutes. It has been working fine for over a year. This week, one user is affected. When they are disconnected, the AVD session host (Win10) does not log them off, and FSLogix seems to hold onto their session. The FSLogix logs indicate " Failed to acquired check session lock for user username" repeatedly. We don't allow local profiles to be created. We have the required registry keys added. User is 1 version back on the AVD client - also tried on latest client. Opened ticket with MS support. Only workaround is to reboot session host, but others are logged in and not a valid workaround. First time user logs in after a reboot, it works fine. Subsequent logins cause an issue, user receives "Singing out" as shown in screenshot and nothing happens. When I try to manually log off the user either from the azure portal or the session host, nothing happens. Anyone else experience this or have suggestions?
Gatewayauthenticationfailed/objectid does not have authorization to perform on scope.
Hello, this is about activating the eligible role using the ARM API. Created a custom role (only with admin login action) no read action- coz we do not want user to see the machines in the portal. We have a ps script that is used inside the virtual machine to activate the eligible role using ARM API the role is assigned on subscription level and activated on resource level, using inheritance. It was working great, but from couple of weeks, we get this errors. "code":"GatewayAuthenticationFailed","message":"Gateway authentication failed for 'Microsoft.Authorization' AuthorizationFailed Message: The client '******@xxx.com' with object id 'xxxxa' does not have authorization to perform action 'Microsoft.Resources/subscriptions/resourcegroups/write' over scope '/subscriptions/xxxa/resourcegroups/ResGrp0213' or the scope is invalid.

Azure Virtual Desktop Portal Bug
Since two days we discovered that in the AVD Portal under the Session hosts register the "VM Resource group" shows the resource group of the hostpool objects and not the actual virtual machines resourcegroup. In addition the "VM Location" is also the location of the hostpool objects and not the location of the virtual machines anymore.
Function app script stopped working
I have a simple function app that uses this script to shut down inactive AVD VMs that had worked for about two years simply stopped working. Instead, it produce this error: ERROR: Error stopping the VM: GenericArguments[0], 'Microsoft.Azure.Management.Compute.Models.VirtualMachine', on 'System.Nullable`1[T] MaxInteger[T](System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable`1[System.Nullable`1[T]])' violates the constraint of type 'T'. After much troubleshooting and searching for something relevant, I discovered that the function app's host.json file was set to: { "version":"2.0", "managedDependency": { "Enabled": true }, "extensionBundle": { "id": "Microsoft.Azure.Functions.ExtensionBundle", "version": "[2.*, 3.0.0]" } } Since v.2 and v.3 are [no longer supported](http://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-functions/functions-versions?tabs=isolated-process%2Cv4&pivots=programming-language-powershell), I changed it to { "version":"2.0", "managedDependency": { "Enabled": true }, "extensionBundle": { "id": "Microsoft.Azure.Functions.ExtensionBundle", "version": "[4.0.0, 5.0.0]" } } ``` I also noticed that the `requirements.psd1` file was set to # This file enables modules to be automatically managed by the Functions service. # See https://aka.ms/functionsmanageddependency for additional information. # @{ # For latest supported version, go to 'https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/Az'. # To use the Az module in your function app, please uncomment the line below. 'Az' = '8.*' } So I changed it to # This file enables modules to be automatically managed by the Functions service. # See https://aka.ms/functionsmanageddependency for additional information. # @{ # For latest supported version, go to 'https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/Az'. # To use the Az module in your function app, please uncomment the line below. 'Az' = '13.*' } None of this helped. The same error was generated. I then realized I might need to restart the app, which I did. After this, I see this warning and error: 2025-03-03T21:42:45Z [Warning] The first managed dependency download is in progress, function execution will continue when it's done. Depending on the content of requirements.psd1, this can take a few minutes. Subsequent function executions will not block and updates will be performed in the background. 2025-03-03T21:42:45Z [Error] Executed 'Functions.TwelveMinuteTimerTrigger' (Failed, Id=58b46678-c1d2-4ca8-8083-fab1e657c608, Duration=95ms) After waiting a while for the download to finish, I get this error: [Error] ERROR: Error getting a list of user sessions: The term 'Get-AzWvdUserSession' is not recognized as a name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or executable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again. The line "Get-AzWvdUserSession is not recognized" seems to indicate that the download of the Az modules has failed. Does anyone know what would cause the download to fail and how to fix it?File Explorer is slow when traversing files synced with OneDrive
